very stupid question time --

daveCFPrez · 03-24-07, 04:53 PM

the color code (door jam sticker) for my '95 GS is YR-505M

I punch that into google and get this --

Honda
Touch-Up Paint
Cashmere Silver Metallic
Color Code YR505M
1/2 oz. bottle
Features:
Honda touch up paint
Honda Cashmere Silver Metallic Color Code YR505M
Limits further damage
Protect your investment
Easily administered

I KNOW my car isn't silver, but gold. So what color is it? Desert Mist ?

I did look through the noob guide, but since the codes aren't listed and an internet search turns up SILVER I thought I better ask.

ALSO listed as silver here also --

why dont you just give your vin to the dealer?

That's just the name of the color. Car color names don't always make sense. For instance, on the 95L model Legends there was a color available called Garnet Red-it's not even red, it's purple. There was a gold color available on earlier Legends, but if your door jamb sticker says YR-505M your Legend is Cashmere Silver. Your car is not gold.

Hi:

I have a 95 Acura sales brochure. Your color is called Cashmere Metallic. I looked in my service manual and it calls YR-505M Cashmere Silver Metallic. It looks more gold to me than silver. Nice color.

thanks everyone. I agree DrDave

I was explaining to my wife that our car looks like a "soft" gold rather than a "hard" gold that I've seen around, and what looks like Pro foundac91 car's color is.
